- 2021 Audi SQ5 review by The Straight Pipes. The Audi SQ5 is pumping out 349hp and 369 lb-ft tq from a Turbo 3L V6. At $73,840 CAD, would you take it over a Mercedes-AMG GLC43, BMW X3 M40i, Porsche Macan S, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Jaguar F Pace?

How'd you comment 13 hours before the video came out?!!!!
Do the Durango hellcat
Jakub is currently winning the battle when it comes to ripping off visors. He's done it in the 2018 GTI and this SQ5, and Yuri has done in the 2019 RS5 Sportback.
It's crazy we live in an automotive time where 350 HP is "decent".
Love reading a thread on /r/cars where people argue that anything under 400hp is unsafe for even merging on the highway. Meanwhile I’m from The Netherlands where most cars on the road are subcompacts with barely 90 horsepower.
500 HP is the new 350.
That horsepower is brought down by weight, so really what you feel inside the car is probably about 270/ 250 bhp
cars nowadays are heavy af thus the new hp normal. it's no big deal. SUV sucks.
Only in Straight Pipes world.
That launch control of the visor is crazy
Lmfao
Why is this comment so underrated? :D
"it was my dogs di-" LOOOL
lol I was about to comment this :)
TheStraightPipes need to *stop sinning.*
I went back to look again at the photo 🤣🚀
I'm dead
I spit my drink with that joke😂
This car is unanimously endorsed by doctors and dentists 😂
in my country by drug dealears
Dentists are doctors
@@Chochocachoo they're not.
@@BirdiesGoCherp they are 😂
@@Chochocachoo Not in the mood to blow up the internet today...but you aren’t wrong.
May you guys grow to such an extent that you can easily review cars like Bugattis and Koeniggesggs.
Their insurance policies would disagree with you sadly
Doug can do that
Doug level
Yeah doug level
Definitely Doug level
Shout out to autogefühl
Yuri does not sound excited about this car😬😂
He did not even look excited.
Why would he be? It's not an exciting car...
It is a remarkably boring machine.
Yuri usually only likes weird off beat stuff because he's a hipster.
@Albert Johnson Dont think so...
Bought a 2020 SQ5 a few months ago. The interior really was what sold it over the X3 and GLC43. Not a fan of the newer BMW interiors and the Mercedes was too much rhinestone cowboy...
And a GLC AMG43 is about $10,000 more expensive when similarly equipped to a SQ5 Premium Plus.
Like for MKBHD Reference !
Fake exhausts are one of the biggest trends that NEEDS to stop 😤 there’s literally no purpose of it since it’s fake
Your fellow UA-camrs, TheCarKids
It’s because they look nice, on some cars
There are going to be no exhaust soon.
Yep and the removal of physical buttons in interiors
And not to mention, fake vents!
@@AlphaSierra5 The previous generation camry had either a turn signal or foglights in a shape to resemble a giant vent. Honestly I thought it look cool cause normally it's always glowing. But is in the shape of a vent. Now the new gen has these massive fake vent that's just make me think those folks got the lower trims but its cause foglights arent even offered. I have never seen a vehicle that needed foglight so much. I would love it if they got rid of those vents.
I actually just bought that exact Audi several weeks ago after trying to get myself to buy a Mercedes GLC for about a week. I couldn't fall in love with the GLC. The showstopper for me on that car is the big black textured plastic trim all the way around the bottom of the GLC (and so many other cars now). That black trim looks cheap and is impossible to keep looking good along without a lot of constant work and even then it looks cheap. I couldn't see myself spending $60,000 on a car to have that kind of trim around the bottom and when I saw that Audi SQ5 I immediately fell in love and I bought it that day. After 4 weeks, I still love it!
I agree GLC is out of my consideration due to this cheap plastic
I've got my '13 Q5 with the 3.0 supercharged engine, and I'm happy to say, my exhaust tips are absolutely real.
Those older Q5’s are so much better looking. I hate the design direction they went in recently.
0:13 i love when you guys get in the car and the suspension is shaking so smooth but i love it on every video.
You don’t even know how long I’ve been waiting for this review!!!
I do most of my YouTubing in the am when I rise, I appreciate how y’all always post so early! all smiles
I just got this car and chose it between the AMG43 and X3 M40i! Still super happy with my choice. Quattro system is amazing in dynamic, and also super comfortable when driving with the lady :)
@@sylvaind.6786 hey man to each their own lol. All great cars but I like the Audi.
@@sylvaind.6786 well for the record I would never buy this brand new. Got a certified pre owned with extra warranty. If you’re worried about reliability you probably shouldn’t get any of these cars.
When jakub said the lipstick thing I actually spit my coffee
The excitement when he said whats up iSheep. I literally felt there is a person that connects to me ❤
Best visor test EVER! I want to see one of you rip a visor into the back seat on every car from now on.
Another great video. I must have missed your regular Stelvio review. Gonna have to go find that one.
I like the way it meets the required functions while maintaining good features seen in sedans.
Been waiting for a SQ/Q5 review forever! Thanks!
I love how these guys give the HP and Torque specs at the beginning of the reviews.
0:43 take a shot everytime Jakub says subscribe
And every time he says something is pretty decent/ decent
@1betterthanyou1 What the hell are you on buddy lmao. Jakub does not do any of that in the slightest
I have a 2021 SQ5 with the Sport Exhaust package and it's the best car I have ever owned. My wife loves it too and fits our toddler's car seat like a king's seat. Luckily I studied computer science and do a lot of programming and have a good job to afford this nowadays. Great review!
We’re glad you can afford your car.
Partially because of your review, I landed with the XC 60 R Design. I do love it.
I like the HP and TQ graphic. Definitely makes things clearer and easier to comprehend at first blush.
Lol VAG heard about your visor test and thought maybe they could score extra points if the visors could reach the back seats too
I was cross shopping this and the M40i a couple months ago and it was too close to call. Even though it's pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things, I couldn't get over the fake exhaust tips and went with the M40i. The upwards pull action of the door is pretty weird too. My Cayman has the same upwards pull on the doors but it make sense because the car is so low. Doesn't make sense on an SUV though where you'd be pulling the handle towards you and not upwards. As always, keep up the good work!
Finally someone that likes tech and cars at the same time
Great job as always boys. I really enjoy your style and your content. Keep up the awesome work!
Absolutely love all your reviews, my favorite channel by far for car reviews. I felt like you seemed alittle unenthusiastic about this review though. Still great keep up the awesome content!
Yep..atleast pretend you want to be there.
Love your videos, but I really don't like the new HP/TQ graphic. The floating text looked so much cleaner.
I think I agree, but this shows how good the HP and TQ is for people with less understanding.
But big thanks for us in EU for NM 👌😍
@@alexatgame4102 I don’t agree, the graphic goes from 0 to like 800hp with is outright insanity and 99% of people will never even drive a 800hp car. That makes 350hp right a bit under the middle, which seems reasonably, until you realize 90% of cars don’t even have 200hp. For beginners in the car game it would seem very confusing, that’s my opinion.
@@emrefifty5281 I can understand that now. I just know it was hard for me to learn TQ numbers at first.
So glad you guys reviewed this car! I’ve been eyeing it 🥰
Best acceleration faces ever! Well done guys.
IT'S BACK WITH FLYING COLORS! RIP VISOR
Man I’m in love with Audi’s
You would love the GLC43 and X3M40i very much too, very similar to SQ5. Each have their own pros/cons but in general are all very nice and no one would be disappointed.
Yeah same, I’m a huge fan of BMW’s and Audi’s.
Me too
@@dailyrant4068 The M340i is worth every penny
Subscribed!!!! Very entertaining while still being informative.....new fav car review channel
Ive been loving the content lately guys
If you are going to compare handling to the other German competitors, you should have the air suspension and sports diff. I test drove this and the GLC43. I found the GLC43 had a more linear power output and was more powerful feeling. Also, the GLC43 sounds like a beast compared to the SQ5. However, with the lower ride height and sports diff, I was definitely able to go faster on the on/off ramps with the SQ5
Vous disiez peut-être vrai, mais je n'aime pas trop le design de la Glc43 Amg,
Même celui de la version jnsuus pas trop convaincu par rapport à la SQ5..,.
Sinon son intérieur ❤️ sa puissance , rapidité 🤤 mais surtout son confort, ouff tout ça sont parfaits chez la Glc👌🏻
Par contre SQ5 me tape tellement aux yeux avec ce design.., je trouve la SQ5 beaucoup plus attirant, et à aussi une conduite agressif, peut-être juste un peu moins rapide que la Glc, mais pas trop de différences je crois.
Un petit reprog + comme une filtre à Air sport fera l'affaire,
Pour l'intérieur/le confort, là on ne peut pas grand choses.
J'ai la SQ5 8r Plus 340hp/700Nm de 2015, et je souhaite vraiment la remplacer pour monter de gamme.., après c'est si difficile de choisir entre La SQ5 et Glc43 Amg quand on aime les deux, 😅
Mercedes is more expensive car
Just scooped one. In love,, absolutely fully loaded prestige with sport package. Just missing the sport exhaust 😅 but at least I have the rear diff 🥰
Curious if it has the pops no bangs still or did they totally delete that?
Once again, a random interesting car I saw in the wild lead me to UA-cam. And once again, Jacob and Yuri already did a video on said random car. I love you guys so much.
Amazing thank you
I have a 2019 with the dynamic suspension and it definitely handles great
Let’s gooo.. thanks for doing this review
I'm going to stick with my X4 M40. Love it. Thanks for the review, I'm just waiting for Audi to put something out that would bring me back to them!!
We bought this year the X3 M40i. Couldn't be happier
@@crocop2712 can't beat the sound out the exhaust and the whistle is no other
@@buttercupmhr The exhaust for an SAV is just out of this world. Our is non-ppf and every time I smile when I start the car
I tested the alfa, mercedes, F pace, and maserati and went with the F Pace. With the spec I chose on the Jag, I couldn't go anywhere the first year with that car without someone complimenting it or asking me about it
Love the Vid Keep it up!
The new grille is nasty looking. I own the first stage of this current gen, and it's markedly better looking. As for the air suspension, it's a must-have for me (Ottawa). It completely changes the dynamics of the vehicle (with Dynamic Chassis Control). Having the vehicle lower to the ground in dynamic mode is a big improvement on handling, especially in the corners. Those two things in tandem make it even more silky smooth than our Golf R (granted, the R is uber planted around the bends). Most importantly, being able to lift the vehicle high enough to tackle the piles of snow at the end of the driveway, after the snowplow/road grader/ passes by (without gouging the finish), is a game changer.
Since you guys also reviewed the Stelvio, which one would you honestly prefer now? Comparing from a drivers car point of view.
Stelvio for handling and looks
I’m about ready to pick up a 3 year old R8! After years of saving. I refuse to do financing. I am so excited I can barley contain myself. I feel Audi has some of the best interiors. Ever.
Would go with the BMW X3 M40i in this class. Due to the amount of features that come standards to other brands like the Porsche and because the infotainment is the most user friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
Also can’t forget, crackles and pops
Agreed in many ways. Thus why I got a X3 M40i instead.
My parents made the exact same choice in 2018, the Audi hasn’t been mentioned once since😂
The face of uri explains every thing 1:40
YESSS THEY DID IT AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING
It has a nice sound when you floor it😎
these two are so good, they make me enjoy a video about an SUV (I'm really not into SUVs)
The door handles are cool cuz is more natural to pull them upward that just forward
I feel like those pull up door handles are super natural on a shorter car
That's what they told me when I bought my car but 3 years in I'm still prone to pulling it straight out like a regular car. It doesn't really feel any more natural.
I'm glad I watched this review. I just test drove an SQ5 and was considering making an order soon. I only glanced at the exhaust tips and assumed they were real. At least now I'll know to order the sport exhaust if I pull the trigger.
you guys are on a tear!! keep it up
According to the description this review is about the Mach E
I own a SQ5, its an amazing daily!
My dad owns a 2011 audi q5, he loves the car a lot
I bought an x3 m40i over the other two, and i don't regret it
Yes you do need air suspension! = moar low 💯
Is it worth it?
@@OrangeismyNewGreen 100% you can program it to go superrr low
9:25
cupholder exists:
Yuri: hold my timmy's cup
the main reason to get the sq5 over the q5 is because sq5 has torsen quattro where as q5 has the hauldex type quattro. also in europe sq5 is diesel which is awesome and it sounds really good with some proper exhaust
Best visor test EVAR!
“rEaLLy NicE” this sounds like Borat😂
It’s the A5 all over again
Thanks for the review!
Currently owning a 2017 B8.5 SQ5 and I plan on keeping it for awhile. The newer models aren’t too interesting. Now if Audi made an RSQ5...
Congrats on coming over to iPhone crew. iMessage is a welcome move. Nothing better than the quality of pics and videos you can send/receive.
True
I was just searching for this car.....
And here it is
I was in the market last month and went with an M40i
You won’t regret it, it’s tons of fun
thank you for showing the metric units too!
finally you reviewed the thing
Did Yuri have a bad day? He looks a bit sad, hopefully everything is okay :)
Yeah, I noticed that too
I think he just doesn’t care about the SUV
@@SoLA489yh maybe, even tho the sq5 isnt bad car
It’s a boring car.
@@KC_Smooth Then dont buy it
TheStraightPipes drove the base Alfa Stelvio? Has that review not been posted yet?
Patreon
I know this is 2 months old but the sq5 (at least supercharged so I assume turbo as well) has launch control not just a brake boost launch. It completely changes the way it shifts and it’s limited in actuation by the ECU to 200. Oil and all temps have to be good, steering wheel has to be straight, ESC on off road, M or S mode.
Shoutout to TheStraightPipes for not making their vids 25 minutes long to satisfy the algorithm
Notification squad ❤
Lmao '2 dragonball z eyebrows' , i never saw it that way hahaha
Kkkkkaaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeee
They do lol
Funny that I am now getting this in my feed after I saw an RSQ5 on the street earlier today
That intro music was smooth 👌🏾
Damn Audi Q5 interiors sure haven’t changed much in 15 years.
Havent?????
@@yes8032 I know right huge improvements recently
15years ago is 2005 and almost 2006. The Q5 only came out in 2009 for North America. And yea it has changed a LOT since then.
@@reuben7 I drove all the Audi SUVs last year. Etron, sq 5, q5, q7 I can't believe how none of them have any interior storage. Really liked the looks, absolutely terrible for a daily driver imo
The Ford Mustang Mach E is pumping out 349hp and 369 lb-ft tq from a Turbo 3L V6?
Bahahaha
I own a 2018 SQ5 and it’s a solid SUV. It’s a good all rounder, nothing special. Fast enough, very comfortable and smooth and decent room. Also looks very clean too but that’s subjective. A lot of other SUVs in this segment are too sporty and compromise on the comfort aspect of an SUV which doesn’t make sense to me, if you want something actually sporty get a car.
I love how you listed all those alternative SUVs but didn't mention the best of them all, the Velar :)
The description is uh... interesting :D
U Sure the Mustang Mach E has a V6?
Why not get an Android Company phone for the testing of android auto?🤷🏾♂️
Yuri is a apple fanboy simple as that yuri made Jacob get an iphone simply because of camera quality expensive android phones that compete with apple aka samsung they just as good of camera and video quality but yuri just is apple fanboy
Just picked up a 2022, I'm 💯 android. Functionality is great, and you dont even need to plug it in like in my Lexus , MB, Hellcat....
Looked at the X3 today and it’s pretty young in the back. After looking in the back seat window of the Macan it wasn’t even worth opening the door. A comparably priced GLC is significantly more expensive. Hoping this SQ5 will be better.
Tbt launching visors on the test. Love it.
8:49 - lmfao
"Dragonball Z eyebrows..." 😄
My favorite intro b roll music you guys have used to date
Another great review. If I was shopping this segment...I'd be looking at the Genesis GV70 which was just officially unveiled in Korea. Tough choice between the GV80 and GV70 for me now (the 22" wheels on the GV80 are intoxicating, but the GV80 is probably a more practical size for me)..
8:35 WAIT WHAT ABOUT YOUR DOG?
I was just negotiating on one of these 2 days ago what are the odds lol
That exhaust hurts my brain on how it looks real until a certain angle... I do love the idea of it staying clean.
From the front it's a jacked up A4, It looks good.
